I have a BT home hub, however if i plug it into the phone socket upstairs, it says there is no broadband. If its plugged downstairs in to the main socket for the house it works. The main PC is kept upstairs, is it possible to use a wireless dongle on the pc to use the homehub connection?

Yeah Wifi will work. Sounds like there's something wrong with your extension wiring.

Dumb question before you buy a wifi dongle, I assume the upstairs extension works for voice calls?
How is the extension wired to the master socket?

I was thinking more that the extension might be plugged in after master socket filter. hence no broadband

BT engineers are blagging cunts anyway. They told my mum the current download speed was only 13Mbps because the computer was old which is a complete load of bollocks

if you do a lot of downloading Tans then wireless will drop your speed by upto 15%. Possibly more if your walls are thick etc
Homeplugs are a good replacement. it's what i use for my Virgin 50mb and they're quality.
